Dissertation investigates benthic oxygen dynamics in coastal sediment environments, indicating significant ecological implications.

This research aims to understand benthic oxygen dynamics in different coastal settings of the Southern Baltic Sea.
Conducted benthic chamber incubation to analyze O2 distribution and metabolism in sandy sediments.
Utilized various O2 measurement techniques under varying light, transport, and nutrient conditions.
Performed mesocosm experiments to assess the role of bioirrigation on O2 dynamics.
Observed distinct differences in O2 dynamics between sandy and Bodden coastal settings.
Identified the influence of microphytobenthos on O2 concentrations in permeable sediments.
Found that bioirrigation significantly impacts benthic O2 levels.
